SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Read all of the instructions before using this appliance.

When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety

precautions, including the following:

NOTE: If the refrigerator/freezer has been placed in a horizontal or

tilted position for any period of time wait 24 hours before

plugging the unit in.

1) Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use

and care guide.

2) This refrigerator/freezer must be properly installed in accordance with

the installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions

in the installation section.

3) This refrigerator/freezer should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed

cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.

4) Never unplug your refrigerator/freezer by pulling on the power cord.

Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

5) DANGER - Risk of Fire or Explosion. Flammable refrigerant used. Do

not use Mechanical devices to defrost refrigerator. Do not puncture

refrigerant tubing.

6) If your old refrigerator/freezer is not being used, we recommend that

you remove the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to

children.

WARNING:

After your refrigerator/freezer is in operation, do not

touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment,

particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may

adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

8) Do not refreeze foods, which have been thawed completely. The United

States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69

reads: "…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if

they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40°F".

"…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or

offcolor should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice

cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or

questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat."

"…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of

foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating

quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use

refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of they’re

eating quality as you can."

9) Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting

your refrigerator.

10) Unplug your refrigerator/freezer before cleaning or before making any

repairs.

Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly

recommend that a certiﬁed technician perform service.

11) Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

Installing Your Refrigerator

Unpacking Your Refrigerator

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive

tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and outside.

2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before

powering on the refrigerator.

CAUTION

Risk of Fire or Explosion due to puncture of refrigerant tubing. Flammable

refrigerant used. Handle with care when moving refrigerator to avoid either

damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

Leveling Your Refrigerator

• Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the front bottom

corners of your refrigerator. After properly placing your

refrigerator in its final position, you can level your refrigerator.

• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them counterclockwise to raise your

refrigerator or by turning them clockwise to lower your refrigerator. The

refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling legs are extended.

Proper Air Circulation

• To ensure your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for,

you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, plumbing

and electrical connections.

• The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator:

Sides……………3/4" (19mm)

Top....................2" (50mm)

Back..................2" (50mm)

WARNING: ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT - SHOCK HAZARD

Electrical Requirement

• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (120 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper

grounding to power the refrigerator.

• Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong

in order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since

it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in shock

hazard.

WARNING: USE OF EXTENSION CORDS- POTENTIAL SAFETY

HAZARD

English

Use of Extension Cords

• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under

certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire

extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will

accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or

greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. DO NOT USE

EXTENSION CORD LONGER THAN 12 FT.

Installation Limitations

• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or heated,

e.g. garage, etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in temperature

settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.

• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard even surface away

from direct sunlight or heat source, e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking

appliances, etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs

located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.
